-u, --user user:password
Specify the user name and password to use for server authentication. Overrides -n, --netrc and --netrc-optional.
If you just give the user name (without entering a colon) curl will prompt for a password.
If you use an SSPI-enabled curl binary and do NTLM authentication, you can force curl to pick up the user name and password from your environment by simply specifying a single colon with this option: "-u :".
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
